I don't know enough about all this stuff to understand what you mean
here (if I did, I'd probably have HD working by now).
What I do know is, when I first turn on a signal, or switch inputs on
the TV, the TV will display the type of signal. I always assumed that
was the type of signal it was receiving, but maybe I'm wrong?
With X/VGA input, using the 1280x768 modeline, it says it's "Standard
FULL2", and it displays full 16:9 screen, which results in a "stretched"
picture since the recording being displayed came from an analog channel
( via PVR-500 card) and is therefore a 4:3 image. But it does nicely
fill the screen. (It's actually better for watching hockey games because
the bigger picture allows one to see the puck better, but it looks
strange if it's a show with a lot of closeups; everybody looks really
fat :-). If I use the 1024x768 modeline, it says it is "Standard 4:3"
and uses the gray bars on the sides. If I display an HD channel from the
Comcast box via HDMI, the TV says it's "1080i". I wish I understood what
all this means )-:

1080i means that it is getting a picture that is 1920x1080 pixels but
it is interlaced, meaning that of the 1080 horizontal lines you first
get the odd ones then the even ones. If you closely at a thin
horizontal line you will see the flicker of the interlacing.<br>
<br>
As for your VGA input, 1024x768 is a standard input for a VGA (4x3)
monitor. 1024 pixels across by 768 down. When you change to 1280x768,
you still have 768 down but have gone from 1024 to 1280 across, so your
TV assumes that this is a wide screen picture since it has all of the
extra information going across.<br>
